Well, coz simply the 1.5 idsi jazz has very good FC. Some of the JFFC members manage to hit 600km for a full tank of petrol at stock condition. But things went ugly when you start to modify the idsi jazz with heavier 17 inch rims and etc which when the VTEC jazz shines with better FC. However, the VTEC jazz FC aint too bad at stock condition with being able to hit 500km for a full tank of petrol with normal driving. And dont ever look down on the VTEC jazz. In terms of performance, it can outrun a lot of cars even larger capacity cars.

42 litres.

Of coz, with that money i can buy Sentra/Altis 1.6 and Civic 1.7 but they are just not my taste. Well, Jazz VTEC can outrun all the mentioned above even the 1.8 version. I just fall in love with the CVT gearbox very much.

Yeah, wanna try?

Well, went to Toyota showroom and take a look at the Yaris. It's a dissapointment to me. Overall the exterior of the car i have to admit look modern and funky compare to the Jazz. Interior space on the front and back are not bad but the back seats are bit tad tight if to compare to Jazz. But the boot space is a big let down to me. It's even smaller than the MyVi's boot space. As for the interior trims, it seems that it's not up to par of a Toyota marque coz Toyota is famous for built quality of the interior trim. Glove box, cup holder and other dashboard finishing feels cheap and flimsy. I do not know if its only the defect of the showcar i saw but the glovebox doesnt close well as there's a obvious gap. The MyVi dashboard finishing is even better although the design is not as good as the Yaris interior trim. And the unit that i viewed is the S version. One thing i like bout Yaris though is the solid feel of closing the door. Much more solid feel than the Jazz. Toyota could do better on the interior as they are what used to be famous for. More comments once i manage to get to test drive the Yaris if it's more fun to drive.

You trust a lot on paper figures, dont you?

How do you use the CVT gearbox during the drag?

Hmmm, ever try D to S and from D to S again?

Me? I'm just a small potato. Wat to hear bout me?

The Jazz VTEC having discounts as well if you find the right salesperson.
Try test drive the Jazz since you have test drive the Yaris.

In terms of best heat rejection tint will be V-kool Elite. The rest of it will depends a lot on the workmanship to avoid problems like bubbles, scratches and etc. It's best if you go to V-kool's authorised tint shop for their v-kool elite and make sure they give assurance on their workmanship quality as well.

air-cool is so so only.

It's true v-kool's tint film consist of many layers and one of the layer are made of some metal particles which is why it is still the highest heat rejection tint film to date. Forget about the percentage of heat rejection those shops claim their tint to have coz the real heat rejection is always lower than what they claimed. Heck, even V-kool elite with 93% claimed heat rejection is tested to be around 80+% in reality. So imagine if those other tint brand that claim their heat rejection are lower than that. About v-kool will rust in the long run is true if the person who tint it didnt apply some kind of "oil" to the tint where they cut from the whole roll of v-kool tint. Try to enquire from those authorized v-kool tint shop or the HQ themself.

I dont think so, tested on machine, v-kool elite heat rejection is highest to date but i dont deny that 3M is not bad too.

No harm done, pal. It's like how ppl saying my jazz is overpriced at 100k+ but as long i find it worth it then the rest i dont bother much. It's your money, you own it, you drive it and you modify it. Lol. Someone's medicine could be someone's poison. So i hope you do enjoy your yaris when get your hands on it and do come back and share your experience with us. If everyone has the same taste then this world will be so boring with the same stuff all around the world.

Well, as far as i know. The only thing that Yaris sharing is the engine and gearbox from Vios. Well, at least we know the mechanical parts is the common stuff that you can source. Just like City and Jazz sharing the same engine, gearbox, chassis/platform, suspension setup and etc.

Well, as i said, everyone's taste and need is different. I can see why Toyota having 2 kind of spec for you to choose. Hope to hear bout your new ride soon. Cheers.

I guess Penang aint that big too be annoymous eh?
